5 Stars!! Our recent stay at the Shangri-La Toronto was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, every detail was thoughtfully handled, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Each staff member we interacted with was incredibly considerate and attentive. Whether it was the front desk, concierge, or housekeeping, every person made us feel genuinely welcomed and valued. Their professionalism and warmth made our stay feel personal and seamless. The room was impeccably clean upon arrival, and the daily cleaning service maintained that high standard throughout our stay. Fresh linens, spotless surfaces, and a consistently tidy space added to the overall comfort and luxury of our time there. Check-in and check-out were both a breeze—quick, efficient, and entirely hassle-free. It’s clear the team is highly trained and dedicated to making the process as smooth as possible. We truly have no complaints. Everything was handled with care and elegance, and we left feeling completely relaxed and well taken care of. We highly recommend Shangri-La Toronto to anyone looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and thoughtful hospitality experience in the heart of the city.

Luxurious and quiet. Very clean property with lots of amenities. Large and spacious gym, the room was quiet and very comfortable. The concierge staff were very helpful and offered lots of suggestions for places to eat and things to do. You can walk to the Theater District and the Toronto sign from the hotel so there is a lot to do here. It was super cold, so we want to go back during the summer.
